DAVIS JUNCTION — Two petition-signing events will be held Saturday for Meridian Community School District 223 residents who want to challenge the district’s attempts to issue $2 million in working cash bonds.

Petitions will be placed at the Marathon gas station, 12087 E. IL-72 Moody St., and the Monroe Center Fire Station, 104 West St. The board of education posted legal notices on Dec. 23 seeking to sell the working cash bonds to increase revenue and save district programs. In order to put the issue to a vote through a referendum, 565 signatures from registered voters are needed prior to Jan 21.
